Throughout the years, the SID has encouraged meeting between Residents and Post-Doc Fellows. To continue this promotion of collegiality, the SID presents a Trainee/Faculty Breakfast – small group discussions in which senior and junior faculty Residents, Pre-Doctoral Students and Post-Doctoral Fellows-discuss issues in an informal atmosphere. These gatherings provide an opportunity to talk informally about subject matters of interest including research opportunities in dermatology, life in academia or how to combine clinical work with research.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet with an international group of leaders in the field of dermatologic research. They will discuss topics such as advantages of careers in research and opportunities for advancement in academic careers. A strong emphasis will be made for retreat attendees to network with their peers.
Please join us as we kick off the 2025 Annual Meeting. Fun, food and entertainment will be the theme of the night. This event is free of charge for all registered attendees.
The SID leadership has arranged for a private reception for those registered as Residents, Post-Docs, and Students. The evening will provide attendees the opportunity to informally network with your peers.

Q&A
Speaker: April Armstrong, MD, MPH
The symposium will explore the role of the Janus Kinases in inflammation, comparing the actions of the TYK2-dependent and TYK2-independent pathways. Additionally, the symposium will explore TYK2’s unique role in the key psoriasis Th17 inflammatory axis, and the role of TYK2 blockade on this axis.
Select ePoster discussions will be thematic tours of selected electronic posters accompanied by a presenting author. Each poster presenter will be asked to briefly describe their work (3 minutes), followed by a short group discussion (2 minutes), that will be held with the help of a moderator

Studies on cell interactions which may include cell-cell interactions, cellular messengers, cell-matrix interactions, and cell-stromal interactions. Included but is not limited to cellular interactions between keratinocytes, nerves (neuro-cutaneous biology), melanocytes, fibroblasts, adipocytes, endothelial and immune cells and progenitors in skin; includes their local cellular and extracellular environments that affect skin inflammation, sensation (e.g., itch and pain), signaling, adhesion, migration, development and homeostasis.
Clinical Research – Interventional Research
Interventional human trials that evaluate or compare therapies, devices, or other interventions for the treatment of skin diseases. This may include systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses of interventional studies.
Clinical Research – Epidemiology and Observational Research
Non-interventional studies of populations or patient cohorts that evaluate, but are not limited to, the natural history of disease, disease burden, co-morbidities.
Basic and preclinical studies aimed at developing therapeutics, elucidating their mechanisms of action, and identifying biomarkers of drug activity.
Studies on all aspects of cutaneous and extracutaneous pigmentation; molecular cellular and biological facets of melanoma, melanoma progression, and immune surveillance and treatment.
Wound healing and regeneration studies; processes/signaling that regulate vascular development and angiogenesis; interactions between different skin components that contribute to the functional process of wound healing or tissue regeneration, or abnormal wound healing (keloids/fibrosis).
